Enable or disable rollbacks

Rollback pages are backup versions of each web page published with Contribute. Enable Rollback is on by default. You can disable rollback or change the number of rollback versions. Each rollback page is a copy of the last published version of that page before the currently published version.

For example, if you browse to a page for editing in Contribute, modify the content, and publish your changes without having previously updated and published that page, there is only one rollback version of the page (in this case, the rollback version is the original page).

Contribute can maintain as many as 99 rollback versions of each published page. When you specify the number of rollback pages, carefully consider the amount of disk space that will be consumed by storing the rollback pages. The pages are stored on the web server. The default number of rollback pages is three.
